Introduction

About My Clients I work with a diverse range of clients including children, adolescents, couples, and families. For children, I provide a supportive environment to address developmental, emotional, and behavioral issues. With adolescents, I focus on helping them navigate the challenges of identity, peer relationships, academic stress, and mental health concerns. My work with couples involves improving communication, resolving conflicts, and strengthening their emotional connection. My Background and Approach My approach to therapy is client-centered and evidence-based, grounded in proven therapeutic modalities. I integrate techniques from CBT to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns, use DBT skills to manage emotions and improve relationships, and apply Family Systems Therapy to address and resolve family dynamics. I believe in tailoring my methods to each client's needs, fostering a collaborative and empathetic environment where clients feel supported and empowered on their journey to emotional well-being. My Personal Beliefs and Interests As a psychotherapist, I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey where healing and personal growth are achieved through a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship. I am dedicated to providing a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors openly. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and a deep understanding of the human experience.
